Probably not for you but for thousands of others.
Don't get me wrong, there are certain people who I wouldn't want to get a hold of guns. I don't know that I could really break it down to demographics, but if certain demographic groups in an area are more criminally minded or irresponsible, then sure, those folks.

However, my point is that lifting the ban on campus carry won't really impact this at all, as it will simply allow those who have licenses to take their gun one more place. I don't anticipate that entirely new groups of people will rush to get a firearms license because of a lifted restriction.
